The Garden Café & Restaurant

A magical cafe started by Merve Ilgim Deprem. A Turkish Breakfast place - an absolute delight. Merve brought a Michelin star chef (Sidar Iskil) on board and gave him a challenge, "can we reimagine Turkish flavours in a vegan universe". The chef and the restaurant more than lives up to its challenge. We loved the food and the place so much that we ended up visiting a few times - one of the places which made our Budapest trip special. On our last evening, Merve quietly arranged a desert for us to taste - a glimpse of the warm Turkish hospitality. Merve and Chef Sidar weave local Hungarian ingredients into their menu, giving a seamless experience of the magic which is created when the Turkish and Hungarian universes assimilate. A must must visit.

Gorgeous cafe with delicious breakfast options including an unusual poached egg dish in a chilli yoghurt sauce topped with dill. Wonderful service with the friendliest of waitresses. Loved the chilled music too. A very happy, caring place with wonderful people. So good we went back twice. Thank you. You made my day with your generous spirit.

Very cute spot with friendly staff who speak English. Small menu, but enough options. I liked what seemed to be a sustainable approach of using several basic ingredients in various dishes (onions, chickpeas, eggs). Chickpea pancakes were tasty, and my partner enjoyed the eggs with onions. They had a variety of drinks options: tonics, teas, coffee etc. I liked the fermentation display. If you’re in the area and want a quick healthy bite, it’s a good spot.

We were welcomed as soon as we arrived and seated. It wasn’t busy even on sunday morning. The staff was kind and helpful. We ordered sweet simit platter and çılbır. Everything looked good and tasty but unfortunately the portions were small. Considering the it has turkish breakfast consept similarity we would expect something with more options. Maybe to add few more things to platters. The prices were cheaper for brunch place but maybe they could increase the price and portion too. Overall it is good experience.

Had such a lovely lunch here today. The atmosphere was warm and beautifully designed, the service was kind and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. They know what they’re doing here. Would happily come back.

Amazing café - truly a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and the atmosphere is charming. The staff are incredibly polite and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. But the highlight for me is the coffee - you can tell they use quality beans and that there’s a real barista (or at least someone who truly knows their craft) behind the machine. A solid 10/10 for breakfast!

Amazing food, friendly staff, great atmosphere… everything was so perfect! They also gave us mimosa cocktails for international women’s day 💛

The food was nice, however didn’t feel authentic the way how they made it. The staff is friendly:) The place’s atmosphere is nice, but was a hit cold the temperature. They charged tip originally, and when we paid, again we had to choose between tips, so they charged twice. Coffe was delicios.
